There’s one GIANT flaw with this Quest. There are many answers to it. Megafin himself can be Shadow Word: Death’d or Siphon Souled, and the murlocs, even with Warleaders, most of them can be destroyed by Twisting Nether, Dragonfire Potion, or even Pyro plus Equality. Good Quest, but if you opponent has an answer, you’re screwed.

I’ve seen Megafin and he is very similar to Neptulon, but with no Overload cost. Megafin is a 5 mana 8/8 Battlecry: Fill your hand with random Murlocs. Not really impressed and the only good Murloc support that came out in Un’Goro is Primalfin Lookout which allows you to Discover a Murloc if you have an existing one on board. The best Murlocs in the game currently are Bluegill Warrior, Murloc Warleader, and Finja, the Flying Star. Other than that the only other Murloc(s) and support that is worth running is Grimscale Oracle and Gentle Megasaur. If Blizzard didn’t rotate Old Murk-Eye, then it’d be option to use. I still think Jade Shaman will be dominant and maybe the possibility of Elemental Shaman.

Neptuno is a 7/7 for 8 mana which adds three murlocs to your hand and has overload. Giantfin in 5 mana 8/8 and fills your hand with murlocs. Its a big difference to neptulon so you can’t say your not impressed just cause neptulon wasn’t great. Giantfin is a lot fcking better

Hmm intresting so lets teory craft
U putting all murlocks wich u need Blugill/warleader finishers finja new discover murlock etc
would be great if not rotating out Everyfin is awesome
thou i wana see agro Murlock shamans with all posiible murlocks

man you know that there are 2 cards existing that are 10 mana and deal with murlocs:
ANYFIN can happen: summon 7 friendly murlocs that died this game
EVERYFIN can happen: give your minions +2/+2, costs 1 less for every murloc on your board

Blizzard was like, “I guess we should let the people know we won’t be making this the year of the shaman again, so let’s give them the worst quest that requires them playing 10 of the worst minion type in the game”

Well honestly the idea of this quest isnt that bad. The main Problem with murlocs has always been that you have too many low drops, which requiered you to combo them but still if it goes badly you will eventually run out of cards. This card prevents exactly that. You can keep flooding the board with murlocs and eventually refill your hand. Pretty cool idea imo.

One of the main problem of murloc aggro decks was running out of steam, and this card aims to correct this. But it’s not the best card for that – spending your turn 1 in such an agressive deck on a quest and losing a card of your mulligan to this is not a great idea for any aggro deck.

However, I think it might be just playable in shaman with double bluegill/warleader, finja and call in the finishers. Nevertheless, it would require you to insert the two murloc spells in just for the same reason people ran neptulon – some extra juice in the form of random murlocs.

Also, I’d say that the 5 mana 8/8 murloc is awesome, but it’s Shaman, so I guess it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

My personal fear with this quest, minus the lost temp swing of Everyfin rotating out, is that Finja ruins the quest by pulling murlocs to the board, and not counting for “Summon 10 Murlocs.” Surely, Blizzard will have the insight to include that… But Blizzard doesn’t always behave correctly.

I don’t think that this in a deck would be a main win condition. This + water package + 2 call in the finishers = 8 cards that can produce 13 murlocs before megafin. You could still play jade shaman with this in mind.

This card seems really bad at first but if you think about it, there is that 4 mana spell that summons 4 murlocs, finja, bluegill warrior, that new murloc that discovers another murloc, warleader and corrupting seer. These are all descent murlocs but the problem I have is that the reward sucks dick like why would I want to fill my entire hand, which already forces me to overdraw, with useless murlocs. Maybe this is for an aggro murloc deck but then we still need to see some other cards that can support this deck because now its not powerfull enough but I still will try out this deck for the memes
